RESPONSE

Healthcare Ready is ENGAGED for the 2022 hurricane season. We are in rigorous communication with private and public sector partners to monitor impacts, shortages, supply chain needs, and potential vulnerabilities. We’re also standing ready to assist.

This page contains updates to provide situational awareness around current hurricane response as well as free resources and state-specific information to assist healthcare facilities, communities, and individuals prepare for and respond to hurricanes.

HURRICANE MAP

Healthcare Ready’s Hurricane Map shows important information about healthcare facilities in impacted areas. The visualization consists of a map showing the location and information of healthcare facilities, including:

  • Hospitals
  • Dialysis Centers
  • Pharmacies
  • Rural Health Clinics
  • Federally Qualified Health Centers

How to use the map

Hover over each county or facility for more specific information. This information can be kept on the visualization by continuing to hover over the selected county, or the pop-up text window

  • For counties, the pop up will display the county name and FIPS code.
  • For facilities, the facility name, healthcare facility type, address, county and state will display.

To search for a specific county or facility in impacted states, hover over the main map, and a magnifying glass icon will be displayed in the upper right corner of the map. From here, a search bar will appear in the top right corner of the map. Type the name of the requested county or facility into the bar, then hit enter to zoom the map into that county.

This tool is updated regularly. Please direct any questions or concerns to alerts@healthcareready.org.
